Fish and Chips Recipe

How to make Healthier Traditional Fish n Chips

Fish and chips are an all time British favourite take away meal. Chips are usually chunky pieces of potato deep fried, the fish is usually cod, haddock, plaice or coley (white fish) coated in a thick batter and deep fried. Once cooked you sprinkle with salt and malt vinegar, you can eat with mushy peas, bread or just a little tomato ketchup.

You can buy fish and chips from what we Brits call the 'chippy'. In the old days fish and chips were wrapped up in newspaper. Today fish and chips must be sold in a polystyrene tray then wrapped in white paper. You can also eat a portion of chips in cardboard cone.

As you can understand with all this deep frying going on, fish and chips from the local chip shop or 'chippy' has to be a treat and not a meal you eat everyday. But no longer do you have to long for that delicious chippy meal.

just found your blog, and really don't know what to cook first. You should be really proud of this site.

Up here in Yorkshire the fish is always Haddock, and when you order you simply ask for once, or twice or three times or whatever. No point saying anything else because Haddock and chips is what there is.

But tinned mushy peas? Convenient yes, but the taste of real marrowfat peas is absolutely stunning, whereas the tinned ones are generally bland and overcooked.

We moved to Finland a year and a half ago and the one thing we constantly miss is fish and chips. We can't get cod or haddock here. Then, yesterday, my husband brought some pangasius (like cod but cheaper and thinner and not quite as tasty) and we found your recipe.

Thank you so much! It's delicious and we can now have our favourite food again!
